Hi Barricade, thanks for the response, but in my case, these shaker hood parts are all original as the car has only 1400 miles and has never been exposed to the elements more than a few hours at a time. Any other thoughts on why it is necessary to let the hood slam shut?
It's in winter storage now so I can't easily examine these parts so, when I pick it up this spring, I'll make a point of studying the assembly under the hood for any scraping, etc.
